Why can gamma rays pass threw or penetrate solids?

1 answer:

7 0

Basically gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which means they have short wave lengths which leads to high energy and visible light is electromagnetic radiation, but longer wave length and have lower energy. Gamma rays also penetrate solids and are absorbed by them. however they have more energy than visible light, they penetrate further.

Four identical balls are thrown from the top of a cliff, each with the same speed. The

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

the speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal

Explanation:

The kinetic energy, K.E. = (1/2) × m × v²

The velocity of the ball, v = u × sin(θ)

Where;

u = The initial velocity of the ball

θ = The reference angle

1) For the ball thrown straight up, we have;

θ = 90°

∴ v = u

The final velocity of the ball as it strikes the ground is v₂ = u² + 2gh

Where;

h = The height of the cliff

∴ K.E. = (1/2) × m × (u² + 2gh)²

2) For the second ball thrown 30° to the horizontal, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²

3) For the third ball thrown at 30° below the horizontal, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((u×sin30)² + 2·g·h)² = K.E. = (1/2) × m × ((0.5·u)² + 2·g·h)²

4) For the fourth ball thrown straight down, we have;

K.E. = (1/2) × m × (u² + 2gh)²

Therefore, as the ball strike the ground, the speed and the kinetic energy of the first and fourth ball are equal, while the speed and kinetic energy of the second and third balls are equal

Why is water considered to be a complex compound

DedPeter [7]

$HEY THERE !!$

$\huge{COMPOUND:-}$
Compounds contain two or more different elements.

Water is a molecule because it contains molecular bonds . Water is also a compound because it is made from more than one kind of element. (oxygen and hydrogen).

So If you like, you can say that water is a molecular compound.

HOPE IT HELPED YOU.
